Since the death of Raila's firstborn son, the cause of his death has not been made public despite the investigations having been carried out and postmortems done.
As is expected in many cases, these unanticipated deaths plunge the nation into a sudden state of mourning, leaving people spreading rumors about possible causes of the deaths.
But that is a common trend that has existed for a long time when notable figures in our society die, their reason and cause of death are often not made public.
Fidel was found dead in his home near Nairobi on Sunday, January 4, prompting a police investigation and minor unrest in the capital at that time.
Police reports had it that Fidel Castro Odinga, 41 then, who was seen by political pundits as a potential successor to his father, returned home on a Saturday night after an evening out drinking with friends and was found dead in his bed on Sunday.
